Councilor Reiting formally introduced Ordinance 737 during the Jan. 7 meeting, describing it as an ordinance “making available a personal income tax rebate to eligible low income Los Alamos County property taxpayers for taxable years 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028.” The ordinance was introduced for publication per the county charter; the council did not vote on final adoption at the meeting.

Council rules require that introduced ordinances be published and returned on a subsequent meeting agenda for public hearing or final action as provided in the charter. Staff was asked to assure the ordinance is published as required.
